I attended Alhambra for almost the entire month of June through an intersession abroad program from my university. This school was truly the best school I could have attended. They taught me everything I needed to learn to further my studies in Spanish. They not only personalize the learning so you can be successful at improving the language, but they also have such a positive energy when they teach.
I had the pleasure of learning from Pilar, Andrés, Lorenzo and Fran. All of them push you to be a better student and Spanish speaker. They take their time to explain anything you are confused about and make sure you understand the content before moving on.
In addition to the amazing teachers, Alhambra has amazing cultural activities and trips you can take part in throughout the week. These activities include visiting historical sites with incredible views, shopping at the local market, and taking a dive into the Mediterranean Sea through a boat ride.
Through this school, I not only improved in Spanish, but I also became friends with people from around the world.
If I have the opportunity, I will most definitely return to this school. I would highly recommend this school to anybody, no matter the age or the knowledge of the Spanish language and culture.read more

I spent two weeks at Alhambra and only wish I could have spent two months there! The school is great. Andrés, Elisa, Fran, Lorena, Lorenzo and Rocio we're all wonderful teachers; well prepared, experienced, enthusiastic and effective. I learned a lot and really enjoyed myself. The location in Pedregalejo is very nice, close to the beach and only a quick and easy bus ride to the city center of Malaga. The prices of their courses are very reasonable and I would highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in the sunny south of Spain. Thank you Alhambra!!read more

Having studied at the Alhambra Institute last year I returned in April 2017 for another two weeks at the school. It was again an excellent experience. The teaching is professional, interactive and engaging. At times the classes are challenging but the teachers ensure that at the end the students understand the objectives of the class and are able to move forward. The teachers ensure that each student is involved in the class. I enjoy the changes of teacher during the week, as this enables the students to experience different teaching styles and accents. The extra curricular activities are also excellent, extremely enjoyable and well guided and informative.
I highly recommend the school to anyone wishing to learn this delightful language. Málaga is a great town, safe, cultured, fun, with great food, bars and museums. Friendly people, good transport and sun.read more

I have been following my internship at Alhambra Instituto for 5 months and it was truly an incredible experience. The school is great and the teachers and the people at the school are really kind. I felt part of the team immediately, could follow some Spanish courses in order to improve my Spanish and they taught me more about the Spanish culture. I had a great time, met great people and learnt a lot. I recommend this language school to everybody who wishes to learn to Spanish language and be immersed in the Spanish culture. Thank you for the great time Alhambra Instituto!! :)read more

In May 2016, I spent two weeks in Málaga at the Alhambra Instituto to improve my Spanish skills. Ever since my landing, I felt at home: Cristina picked me up at the airport and showed me many things on our way to the apartment, which became my home for the next two weeks. My roommates were fantastic and the internationality of our flat gave me the wonderful opportunity to start talking Spanish from the very beginning. The Alhambra Family had it figured out! :-)
My sojourn got even better as my classes begun. The school has a familiar atmosphere and the teaching level is very high. The teachers’ specialised knowledge, their patience and their talent to explain every particularity in grammar is captivating. Lorenzo, Andrés, Fran, Carlos, Ana and Pilar achieved “to dust” my Spanish in only a few days and disposed me very well for the DELE exam. Furthermore, the extracurricular activities and excursions permit a totally immersion into the Spanish language and culture. Unfortunately, I had to less time to join the activity programs, but I will next time. As a matter of facts, I will come back as soon as possible to continue my studies!read more

Very recommended, all the teachers are very nice and welcoming. Very cozy and nice environment, they offer trips everyday of the week and they sometimes take you to an outing after class to have lunch with students and teachers. The location is perfect on the beach. I went for 6 weeks and i already felt like i know everyone and i didn't want to leave. read more

Highly recommended. I have just returned from taking a two-week course at the Alhambra Instituto and can thoroughly recommend it. The teachers are excellent, patient and encouraging, and they cover a lot of ground in the time available. It’s hard work but fun. Lessons are often light-hearted, which makes learning enjoyable. There is a friendly atmosphere at the school with a mixture of younger and older people. The school recognises that the over-fifties often like to have classes with others of their own age, and the Instituto specifically caters for this, although everyone mixes well and chats to each other during break times. I’m now hoping to move forward from beginners Spanish to learn more in the future.read more
